"... there are two policies that are brand new for the Obama
administration ... The first of these is the idea that the president
has the right and the power ... to target American citizens not just
with eavesdropping without warning, ... and not just with detention
without due process, but with assassination. The other policy [is] the
war on whistleblowers that is taking place in the United States." --
Glenn Greenwald

[Note from me, Karen Medina: I have been involved in so many
conversations where progressives claim that Obama is doing the best he
can and that he has good intentions. This event addresses these. Glenn
Greenwald is an amazing speaker. And ISO discussions are some of the
most interesting conversations around town.]
